We often receive feedback from our customers, and often what they say makes us smile. We love to get the chance to solve a difficulty someone is having but we really love to hear about your experience with Algonquin Outfitters or in Algonquin Park.
As the spotlight on local thriving businesses continue…the outdoorsman in me would be remiss if I didn't mention…

Why has the Tay House Troop 19 been coming to Algonquin Park for decades?
Oct 4, 2018
Dear Rich, Gord, Colin, and the Entire Algonquin Outfitters Team,
On behalf of Tay House Troop 19 and the Highlanders, I want to thank you for all that you and your team did to help make our 2018 Algonquin Canoe Trip a success. We continue to return to Oxtongue Lake as our start/end point for the Canoe trip – and Greatly appreciate the relationship we have built with AO. As I stepped out of the car this year, Colin greeted me as if I was just there last week which testament to the welcoming environment AO provides to it’s clients – even if eh was apprehensive of having to bail us out like in 2016!
Our trip started in between the rain clouds -and we greatly appreciate the upgrade t o the tent cabin as well as the use of your propane grill for our soggy first night meal. The rest of the trip was a great success (compared to the misadventures of 2016) – even if we are threading the needle between storms as we went along. Our canoes, paddles, PDF’s and accommodations all lived up to your excellent reputation.
Thank you to the entire AO team for all your help and support. Once again the crew was in awe when Rich, Gord and Colin all knew us by sight – and it is great to be able to speak to the extent of our history working together. We look forward to our next trip – and cannot wait to get back up to the park for our next adventure!
Sincerely,
Roblewis, Scoutmaster

Out group of 5 went camping at Algonquin over the long weekend of August, and we could not find any canoes north of Barrie. Jenny and Carly helped me along to make reservations with their 2 canoes remaining, and made sure that our group was well taken care of when loading the canoes on my vehicle. The staff was extremely friendly, helpful all the way, accommodated late returns of equipment, and were happy to exchange our equipment for the better ones they had in stock. Definitely coming back and recommending to all my friends!
This store is great. They have kayak and canoe rental, water taxi service and any of the last miniute provisions for your back country trip. For example, rope, chairs, water bottles, bags, trinkets, patches, walking sticks, sleeping bags, tents, tarps and much more. The staff is very friendly and willing to help. Some of the products are slightly marked up due to distance and convenience and you should expect that.
Best place around! Been there many times .. they won’t let you down.

i would say you guys are the wind beneath my wings, but it would be more like the boat beneath my butt… sounds more like a weird Al song. Maybe old school country western?

@algonquinoutfit is the place to go for canoes and camping need. Their boats are new and super fast. And prices are reasonable

Whats to say then the best canoes, the best service, the best staff. The store is great but could have more variety. Drop in the Huntsville store if you cant find it here.
After over 30 years of tripping there is no place better to start or end a trip then AO.
“My first time renting a SUP board from Algonquin Outfitters in Halliburton and loving it. My little passenger is loving it too!”

Heathercowper @Heathercowper: “Enjoyed our canoe trip @algonquinoutfit on Lake Opeongo @Algonquin_PP – saw beaver & lots of mozzies!#explorecanada” 10:15 AM – 16 Jul 2016
“I am a frequent customer to your store in Huntsville. I have been coming up for the last 7 summers, and will hope to continue that tradition for many years to come, including this summer!”
“I just want to thank you and your staff for the excellent service you provided for our canoe trip last week. You moved us through the process of distributing and reviewing the equipment, menus, etc. efficiently and with no confusion. I appreciate your willingness to be flexible with our last minute equipment and menu changes. As it has been in the past, your equipment and food were top-notch!”
“Wanted to thank you all for helping to make our trip a wonderful experience for all the Scouts and Leaders that participated. Your staff was friendly, courteous and helpful. We WILL be back next year.”
“Here they say, half-jokingly, that if a wannabe canoe tripper showed up naked and carrying only a valid credit card, they could outfit him with everything he’d need for a wilderness adventure, from clothes to canoe, camp gear and food…. Algonquin Outfitters has everything a visitor will need to survive on a canoe trip through the park.”
“Am I allowed to squeal like an excited school girl??? hahah”, was Seans responce to his purchase of a new Swift Osprey Solo Canoe. “Thanks for getting this for me. Thanks for helping lash it down today. Stayed put all the way home.”
“I soon learned from here if you rent anything there is only one place to deal at and it’s AO. Well 10 years later and it gets better every year. Thanks AO!!!” – CR –
“People in Ontario can’t stop talking about the beauty of Algonquin Park, and I agree with them. Our trip there this past summer was amazing. I’ve never stopped to wonder how it looks in the winter though, beyond picturing a big “CLOSED FOR THE SEASON” sign over the entrance gate. Saturday might go down in my record books as one of those pivotal days. On the surface it was nothing more than fun – a 4-hour snowshoe trip through the Track and Tower trail in the park. In the long-term outlook though, it was the day I finally “got it”. I’ve always looked at snowshoeing as an end in itself. You strap on snowshoes and you walk around because it’s neat to have snowshoes on. Yesterday I learned that it’s actually the means to an end, and the end is: hiking in the winter. Epiphany! Winter sports! What a fantastic concept! You don’t have to batten down the hatches and count the days until spring.”
“I work for Saturn Saab Isuzu Canada and Saturn is recognized as a world leader in its initiatives in automotive customer service. Several of its foundation of values are trust, respect, empathy, dedication and commitment. I think the staff of Algonquin Outfitters are right up there with the best when it comes to the basis of great customer service. Enthusiastic committed concerned employees create enthusiastic customers and raving fans which are critical to the success of any business. I now consider myself a raving fan.”
